Wow, I'm a television pundit!

[SoxFan]

Really.

I made my debut as a Democratic talking head on "Close Up, a long-running Sunday morning political talk show on WMUR-TV, an ABC affiliate in Manchester, NH. It's a local version of the Sunday morning fare on the networks.

1. Wow, keep up the good work. However, I think you were wrong on the first point

The rebuke by Congress was appropriate. It turns out it wasn't a censure. There are 4 levels of reprimand in the house, and this was the lightest and it was appropriate. Yes, Wilson apologized to the President, but he needed to apologize to the House. I fully support Hodes, but I disagree with him on this vote.

2. Cool! The chairs looked muy uncomfortable.

I guess that's what happens when the set decorator is tiny. :eyes:

5. I'm the right-winger carrying on about ACORN...

Which one do you think I am?

11. Sorry. I asked that before I had seen the whole video

Good job, BTW!!

4. Small world...I designed that logo for Hodes!

We even won a Pollie award for the print campaign. Congrats on your punditry. DUers are everywhere!

:thumbsup:

6. Looks sharp!

They went with a somewhat different one for the bumper stickers; similar typeface, but red and blue background. Just pt one on the car last week!

8. Very Cool! You did a great job!

The ACORN answer was the only issue - it's too bad you were not the 2nd asked.

Lots of good info on DU regarding the ACORN issue.


Are you thinking about running for office?

If not, perhaps you should.

10. grrrrrrrrrr

Sore spot there...

I was just defeated in my bid for re-election to the Manchester Board of Aldermen. I got squeezed in a low turnout primary. I had a right-winger on one side (who was being funded by a millionaire mayoral candidate) and a Dem with ties to the city employee unions. It made it very difficult for a "Tsongas Democrat" (fiscal conservative, environmentalist, socially tolerant, etc) to thread the needle. My base of independents, young professionals, and reform-minded, non-"machine" Dems don't show up in primaries.

I'll be back, though, in 2010 or 2011.

13. A couple of questions then...

1. As a television pundit, do you use algerbra?

2. Does the gig come with a good health plan?

Congrats and a k&r

15. Hey, good for you!

I like that clock idea. Maybe they can take that thing over to CNN and MSNBC.
